The National Institute of Statistics (INS) is pleased to present the second edition of the Economic and Financial Data Bank in 2014. This edition, like the previous one, presents the results of the use of the Statistical and Fiscal Declarations (DSF) of companies in the “Modern Business Register” for the 2014 financial year. In particular, there is an aggregation of the balance sheet and income statements by branch of activity and by legal form of the companies. It is part of the continuation of the process of setting up and operationalizing the Central Company Balance Sheets, which is a project that the INS started in 2012.
In 2015, in a context marked by a gloomy international economy and the persistence of security risks as well as the fall in oil prices, the national economy continued to show resilience, with real growth of +5.7% after +5.9% in 2014.
In the primary sector, growth is estimated at +5.3%, after +6.2% in 2014, in connection with the “agriculture” (+6.3%) and “forestry and forestry” (+7.2%) branches. The “forestry and forestry” branch recorded a sharp deceleration with a growth rate of +0.2% after +13.8% in 2014.
The secondary sector is experiencing the most dynamic development, with growth consolidating at +9.6% in 2015, after a rate of 5.5% observed in 2014. Since 2012, the contribution of “hydrocarbon extraction” has become positive again, in connection with the entry into production of new fields. The value added of this branch increased by +24.8%, after +14.4% in 2014. The other branches, notably “other manufacturing industries” (+4.0% compared to +0.4% in 2014) and “construction and public works” (+8.4% compared to +7.5% in 2014), also supported the dynamism of this sector.
The tertiary sector grew by +3.4% in 2015 compared to 4.8% in 2014. This deceleration is attributable to the subsectors “Health and social work” (-2.9% in 2015 compared to +4.5% in 2014), “trade, vehicle repair” (+3.5% in 2015 after 6.4% in 2014), “information and telecommunications” (+5.1% in 2015 compared to +7.3% in 2014). On the other hand, it was mitigated by the good performance of the “Restaurants and hotels” (+2.2% after -2.1% in 2014), “Transport, warehouses, communications” (+4.3% after +3.0% in 2014) and “Banks and financial institutions” (6.9% after +5.6% in 2014) branches.
